Glória Duarte cannot investigate. But you can.
Glória Duarte cannot alert the world. But you can.
Blood Niobium is an independent platform that reveals the niobium case at Mina Boa Vista in Catalão, Brazil, through a dossier. The Blood Niobium dossier — structured, verifiable, distributable — transforms a local human rights violation case into an international accountability protocol.
Its goal is to bring international visibility to a concrete human rights violation involving an elderly Brazilian woman in extreme vulnerability, associated with the extraction of a strategic mineral: niobium.
Each claim has a traceable primary source: lawsuits, CMOC reports (HKEX: 3993), death certificates, published international standards.
Mapping of legal, accounting, regulatory and humanitarian violations — in the language of those who have the power to respond.
Documentary guides on violations and risks, distributable to every sphere of decision: Auditors, Regulators, Shareholders, Investors, Certification Agencies, Clients, NGOs, Press, Governments.
At the center of this case is Glória Duarte — 81 years old, blind, widowed, and co-owner of the land where CMOC (HKEX: 3993) extracts billions of dollars in niobium.
Glória survives on approximately US$ 180 per month.
Without access to basic medical care.
In a situation of extreme vulnerability.
A decade of litigation. Billions in extraction.
Mina Boa Vista, in Catalão, Goiás, has operated on disputed land for over a decade — a process still without a definitive resolution between the Duarte Family and CMOC.
The extraction has never been interrupted.
*open channel for CMOC to correct figures, if proven.
The niobium extracted from Mina Boa Vista does not stay in Catalão. It crosses borders. It enters global supply chains. It reaches strategic sectors: defense, infrastructure, steel, mobility, energy and critical technologies.
The point is not a Brazilian land dispute.
The point is the legal, informational and ethical integrity of a globally significant mineral supply chain — the niobium chain — and the impossibility of actors in this chain claiming ignorance.
| Who you are | What you find here |
|---|---|
| Investor / Shareholder / Risk analyst | Unprovisioned liability of up to US$ 3.2 bn — absent from CMOC reports (to be confirmed by investigators) |
| Auditor / ESG Agency / NGOs | Violations of IAS 37, ISA 540, HKEX 13.09 — with verifiable primary source (to be confirmed by investigators) |
| Industrial niobium buyer | LkSG/CSDDD exposure — supply chain due diligence (to be confirmed by investigators) |
| Regulator / Government | Violation analysis by jurisdiction: HKEX, PCAOB, UN, EU (to be confirmed by investigators) |
| Citizen / Investigator | 6 concrete actions — from sharing to formal regulatory reporting |
Every ton of niobium shipped carries with it:
It does not merely narrate a case. It organizes evidence, translates risks and structures a documentary accountability protocol for actors who, until now, have benefited from the distance between the origin of the conflict and the international centers of decision.
If the right information does not reach the centers of power — the CMOC board, the agencies that assign ESG ratings, the auditors who sign clean opinions, the regulators who oversee the market, the buyers who finance the extraction — silence continues to function as a shield.
WHAT IF IT WERE YOUR MOTHER?
如果是你的毁伊呢？
CMOC's lawyers claim in Brazilian courts that elderly Glória Duarte's condition is one of "extreme comfort".
A Chinese company internationally certified for ‘health care’ operates on judicially disputed lands, while the elderly co-owner of the mine dies without access to basic medical care.
In China, filial piety (Xiào - 孝) is the pillar of all morality. Neglect of one’s parents is the greatest dishonor.
GLÓRIA DUARTE MAY BE THE NEXT ELDERLY WOMAN TO DIE IN MISERY
Six crosses.
They are there to show where profit was extracted — and dignity, buried.
The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) classify as REMEDIATION FAILURE the moment when a company with a normative obligation to identify vulnerable groups, map impacts and remediate allows that window to close irreversibly with the death of the victim themselves.
The certifications held by CMOC — ISO 14001, ISO 9001, UN Global Compact — impose exactly that obligation.
The question these standards raise is direct: who had the obligation to act and did not act?
The six elderly people did not die in the mine or because of mining. They died abandoned — 10 years in misery, while CMOC extracted US$ 3.2 billion in niobium from the disputed lands. Without any compensation. Without the extreme vulnerability of these people being even acknowledged.
When the remediation failure is irreversible, no subsequent ESG certification erases it.
WHAT IF IT WERE YOUR MOTHER?
如果是你的母亲呢？A deliberate strategy in which the wealthier party drags out legal proceedings, knowing that time favors those who can afford to wait. The calculation is clear: the longer the litigation, the lower the probability that elderly co-owners will survive to receive any compensation.
Is CMOC waiting for the natural death of elderly co-owners to avoid compensation — UNTIL ALL THE NIOBIUM IS EXTRACTED from the Boa Vista Mine in Brazil?
Is that what the facts authorize us to conclude?
CMOC DENIES any deliberate intent to exhaust the claimants. Yet CMOC has remained silent and disregarded the extreme vulnerability of elderly co-owners for more than 10 years.
The niobium extracted from the Boa Vista Mine does not stay in Catalão. It crosses borders and enters global supply chains in defense, steel, energy, and critical technologies.
This is not merely a Brazilian land dispute — it concerns the informational, legal, and ethical integrity of a globally strategic mineral supply chain: niobium.
Every ton shipped carries an unprovisioned legal liability, a potential regulatory omission, and a decade-long story of disregard for the human rights of elderly co-owners that has remained invisible.
Technical material documenting CMOC's conduct toward the co-owners of the Boa Vista Mine lands — Catalão, Goiás, Brazil.
Section 07
The Violations Guide was prepared based on public documents, financial statements disclosed by CMOC Group Limited itself (HKEX: 3993), court records and applicable international standards. It does not intend to replace specialized legal analysis or specialized investigations by profile of interested parties.
Its purpose is to organize information so that auditors, regulators, certifiers, clients, investigative journalists, investors and human rights organizations know which questions to ask, where to look for answers and which standards may have been breached.
Blood Niobium also exists to interrupt the institutional comfort zone that allows reports, ratings, investments, audits and industrial niobium purchases to keep circulating as if Glória Duarte’s situation of extreme vulnerability did not exist.
All independent factual verification is encouraged.
Financial statements of listed companies are regulated documents. When relevant litigation is ignored or inadequately provisioned, investors operate with distorted information. That is why the standards below exist.

Every customer that buys niobium from CMOC may be incorporating Blood Niobium into their final product — and from the moment they are formally alerted to the risk, they incur active legal obligations under Germany’s LkSG and the European CSDDD.— To be confirmed by investigators.
Active Legal Obligations — LkSG (Germany):
(in force since 01/01/2023 — companies with 1,000+ employees in Germany)
| LkSG Obligation | Risk with CMOC after this alert |
|---|---|
| §5 — Identify risks | If you did not question CMOC: active risk |
| §6 — Preventive measures | If you did not demand remediation: active risk |
| §7 — Remediate violations | If you maintain the relationship post-alert: growing risk |
| §10 — Report publicly | Blood Niobium must appear in the annual report |
LkSG §24 penalties: fines of up to €8 million or 2% of global revenue · exclusion from public tenders for up to 3 years · civil liability for damages.
Active Legal Obligations — CSDDD (European Union):
(adopted 2024 · phased implementation 2027–2028)
| Article | Obligation | Relevance for CMOC customers |
|---|---|---|
| Art. 7 | Identify actual and potential impacts | Blood Niobium = documented impact |
| Art. 8 | Prevent and mitigate with an action plan | Requires response after this alert |
| Art. 9 | Remediate and maintain grievance mechanism | Requires cooperation with affected parties |

CMOC’s documented conduct directly contradicts the Confucian values that the Party and Chinese government promote as the foundations of Chinese civilization — and the world is associating this contradiction not with the company, but with China.— To be confirmed by investigators.
The Contradiction With National Values:

|---|---|---|
| 寊 Filial piety | 81-year-old abandoned · US$ 180/month | China does not respect its elders |
| 仁 Benevolence | Zero compensation in 10 years · 6 deaths | Chinese corporate impunity |
| 御 Integrity | Numerous contacts without response | Chinese companies are opaque |
百善孝为先 — Of the hundred virtues, filial piety comes first.

UNDERSTAND HOW THE PLATFORM AND GLOBAL ACTION CAMPAIGN WERE BORN:
The Question She Asked
Glória Duarte 81 years old
Co-owner · Boa Vista Mine, Catalão, GO · Monthly allowance: R$ 1,600
"When we started documenting CMOC's neglect, I myself asked: what would you do to make the most powerful man at CMOC, over in China, know what is happening to me here?"
The Answer That Changed Everything
Chinese Student
Based in São Paulo, Brazil
"I would make the whole world ask him: WHAT IF IT WERE YOUR MOTHER? 如果是你的母亲呢？"
CMOC Group Limited • Hong Kong
Mr. Liu,
You do not know me. My name is Glória Duarte. I am 81 years old, a widow, and I can no longer see. I live in Catalão, Goiás, on land that is rightfully mine — the same land from which your company extracts billions of reais every year.
My husband, Jesus, passed away last year at the age of 90. In his final months, he urinated into a construction bucket because we could not afford a catheter. He died that way — without the slightest dignity. Meanwhile, your company's lawyers told the court that I live in "extreme comfort."
Mr. Liu, I survive on a pension of R$ 1,600 per month. I cannot afford antibiotics when I need them. Six elderly co-owners died over these ten years of legal proceedings — without seeing a single day of justice. Jesus was the last. I may be next.
I know that in your culture there is a teaching: 百善孝为先 — of the hundred virtues, respect for one's parents is the first of all. I am not invoking this as a legal argument. I am invoking it as an appeal from a mother to a son who was raised to know what honor means.
Do not come to me with lawyers' arguments, Mr. Liu. I have listened to lawyers for ten years. Come with respect. Does your company not uphold certifications that require it to consider stakeholders and observe the human rights of elderly people?
What I Ask
1. Recognition: That CMOC acknowledge my condition of extreme vulnerability.
2. Negotiation: A real dialogue — send someone with immediate decision-making power.
3. Dignity: That the niobium from my land no longer carry blood in its name.
Time is running out for me, Mr. Liu. Not for the lawsuit. Not for your company. For me.
And so I ask you, Mr. Liu:
WHAT IF IT WERE YOUR MOTHER?
如果是你的母亲呢？
With the dignity I still have,
Glória Duarte
Co-owner of the lands of Boa Vista Mine · Catalão, Goiás, Brazil · 81 years old
While CMOC extracts billions in niobium from disputed land, Glória Duarte — 81 years old, blind, widowed, and co-owner of the area — remains reduced to a convenient absence. For more than 10 years, CMOC’s institutional neglect has transformed ongoing human suffering into a mere property dispute. Reports circulate. Audits proceed. Certifications preserve appearances. And amid all of this, one inevitable question: What if she were your mother?
In China, honoring one’s parents is the supreme moral pillar: 百善孝为先 — of the hundred virtues, respect for parents comes first.
